Over the past month, various members of CRiEDO have published their articles in different journals.
On one hand, Diego Castro-Ceacero, David Rodríguez-Gómez, José Luís Muñoz-Moreno, and Amparo Calatayud have published their article titled “The intergenerational climate of Spanish university research” in the journal Studies in Higher Education.[The intergenerational climate of Spanish university research] The knowledge economy has transformed society and universities into a market-oriented model, affecting institutional functions, particularly research in Spain. The overlapping of generations of researchers has sparked interest in intergenerational relationships. The study examined the intergenerational climate in Spanish research through five aspects: generational stereotypes, positive affectation, intergenerational contact, generational inclusivity, and job retention. 2003 researchers from 10 Spanish universities participated, revealing a favorable intergenerational climate, albeit with stereotypes. Older researchers (Baby Boomers and Generation X) had a more positive perception. It is emphasized that a positive intergenerational climate enhances individual, collective, and institutional levels, recommending that educational institutions address stereotypes based on intuitions and beliefs.
On the other hand, Ana Dolores Vargas Sánchez and María Alejandra Bosco Paniagua have published their article titled “Coexistence and peace culture through didactic strategies integrating technologies: A multicase study [La convivencia y cultura de paz a través de estrategias didácticas integrando tecnologías: Un estudio multicasos]” in the Revista Virtual Universidad Católica del Norte. The study focuses on didactic strategies for education in coexistence and peace, utilizing technology. Six cases were analyzed in Colombia using a qualitative approach. Despite the lack of technological resources, administrative support, and training, teachers found ways to implement effective strategies in this field. The study highlights the importance of cross-cutting training programs to involve the academic community and address educational challenges in this area, even when limitations exceed good intentions and available time.
